Shot is believed to have low-ordered HME. Team recovered metal container for WIT exploitation (electric tape). Secondary search revealed no further hazards
NF2 Assessment: Based on pattern analysis and historical data of previous attacks in Al Tamim, this IED was most likely intended for a civilian vehicle since CF does not frequently patrol this area. The last attack was the MAIED on 12DEC08 which targeted an IP officer's vehicle. Another IED attack on 23FEB08 targeted the home of a Bayji City Council Representative. These incidents are most likely part of an ongoing tribal related conflict in this predominantly Dulaymi and Obydi section of the city.
